Help! I hate black rims.

I think it boils down to functionality.

 

The scoop/skewp serves the function of getting me hella bitches, bro

 

Black RIMS are the best!

 

Okay, serious question: If I hire a stripper to give me a "rim job", and she corrects me with "Hey, that's a wheel job!"; should I get mad and debate semantics with her?

(asking for a friend...okay, I'm really asking for me.)

 

Must be a…never mind this pic will explain it all

 

I'm aging myself here... but these were THE wheels to have on your Z-28 in the early 80's I'd like to see a revival.

Rick James, bitch.

Oh. Wheels, rims… If they're SCS, you can’t f’n get them anyway.

 

My man ....you are so fuckin....RIGHT!

 

Centerlines?

 

I miss my chrome Cragar rims…

 

Yes-three piece Centerlines. Copied in one piece forms too, fake rivets and all. Currently available as the American (chinese) racing Outlaw and Outlaw 2, and US Wheel makes a steel version as well with a black center.

I really liked the look with a gold center and polished lip. That was on the Pepe Bronco in Romancing the stone.

 

Did she use a truing stand?

 

I had polished aluminium Cragars on my 77 Chevy pickup. Man I loved that truck....right up until the day some dickturd stole it.

 

Yup, I remember those wheels. They were indeed highly sought after back in the day. For me "back in the day" was the mid to late 90's though.

 

I don't think I've seen Centerlines on a 3rd gen Tacoma. Hmmmm...

 

Yeah Centerline X-Series or the Champ 500's were popular on Camaro Z-28's and Pontiac Fiero's back when I was in High School. Also Weld Wheels Drag Lite were a hot commodity. In Houston in the 80's Competition Sales Performance shops had all the trick muscle car stuff and also quickly weaned me off of useless non-performance aesthetic modifications (aluminum valve covers, braded hose lines, etc..)

Back on topic.

If you don't like the color of your current wheels it's not that expensive to have them powder coated a color you prefer, rather than dumping a bunch of cash into new wheels unless your going for an upgrade.

The whole "murdered out" black look has jumped the shark IMHO

 

Uggg, that wheel, rim, whatever, is Fuggly. No no no...they didn't call that a Centerline?
